Chinese Rhubarb
Most people believe rhubarb is a fruit but it's a vegetable. Chinese rhubarb, also called rheum palmatum or da huang, has been used for thousands of years in herbal formulas. Rhubarb’s uses were documented in the Divine Husbandman's Materia medica, written over 2,200 years ago. It was given its Latin name by the famous “Father of Taxonomy” Carolus Linnaeus in 1759, and brought to British botanical gardens around 1762.
Herbalists originally consumed rhubarb to support healthy bowels and digestion.* However, soon it was found to have numerous nutritional supplementation health benefits such as supporting healthy function of the blood, uterus, blood circulation, teeth, gums, mouth, tongue, immune system, appendix, liver, and eyes.*
